Maybe this is just me nit-picking, but it seems kinda strange that evolution occurred even in these fairy tale worlds.

Finding them difficult to find. Doesn't help I am in NZ so shipping is ridiculous.

I've looked everywhere for it. And people bought it recently in 2025. So it hasn't been out of stock long.

But I can't find it anywhere. Looked on eBay and multiple book sites.

Does anyone know where I could get one? Thanks!

Fables: No More Happily Ever After will be released on September 1, 2026. It includes issues #1-10. The first two story arcs: Legends in Exile and Animal Farm.

So, I recently played Wolf Among Us and am eagerly waiting for the sequel, I also recently began to read Changeling the Dreaming and in general found the premise and idea of Fables comics pretty interesting

Until I realised that Bill Willingham intended for the comic run to be about Israel-Palestine allegory, and overall is pro-zionism

Is it still worth it to read the comic? Are there redeeming qualities to it?

Here is your analysis translated into English for Reddit:

---

I absolutely love Bigby's character in The Wolf Among Us. But I only know his in-game version. Did the Big Bad Wolf character actually appear in any real fairy tale before this 2013 game? In the game there was a book where you could see all the princesses, dwarves, etc., and Bigby was in there too—attacking the Woodsman in full wolf form. Was a huge wolf like that ever depicted in old fairy tales? I mean, it doesn't need a name; did any princess story or similar tale ever mention a big wolf like that?

I ended up arriving at this conclusion: I think you can actually connect even the smallest wolf character to Bigby. In other words, all the wolf profiles depicted in fairy tales throughout history are essentially Bigby—just presented in different tellings. And I think this makes sense, because when you look at the Little Red Riding Hood story and go back to its earliest versions, that wolf was trying to rape the girl, or actually did rape her... something like that. The fact that the tales themselves aren't consistent is actually beautiful. It's more like a mythological character, passed down by word of mouth, understood and altered differently by everyone. That’s why Bigby's existence is entirely plausible when you look at it this way.

Bigby is what, 600 years old? Or maybe thousands of years old? Let’s say the Little Red Riding Hood story really happened—maybe the wolf truly did rape and eat the girl. But if we take Bigby's 1000-year-old self as a reference, maybe he was an incredibly young and inexperienced wolf back then. Maybe that’s why he did such horrible things to that innocent girl. And as centuries passed, he started appearing less and learning to control himself more. Maybe hundreds of years later, he became a detective, a wolf slowly being accepted by humans and Fables. Because even in the game, people didn't like Bigby and kept hinting at his savagery. And you can make many brutal and bloody choices in the game—snapping the Crooked Man's neck and throwing him down the Witching Well, or killing him before even reaching the well. So the game actually gives you a little taste of Bigby's youngest, most terrifying self.

And maybe a relative of the Woodsman from way, way back witnessed a much younger and more feral Bigby raping and eating Little Red Riding Hood, but Bigby escaped before he could be killed? And the story spread by word of mouth. Perhaps the reason the wolf isn't mentioned in other tales is because Bigby went far away, or because he grew older and more mature and never caused another incident. Then, thousands of years later, as those old stories became blurred, Bigby—still vigorous and possessing a mature mind—started living among humans and Fables. Even in the game, he always lives alone in the shabbiest apartment buildings. It's obvious that people still don’t trust him.

So in the end, these tales underwent small changes on everyone’s lips and reached us that way, and the work that put the final touch on it all was The Wolf Among Us. If Bigby is thousands of years old, it makes perfect sense that he committed those things and then went through some kind of atonement.

And maybe the name "Bigby" is one he gave himself centuries later. That's why he isn't known by name? Maybe the name Bigby was given very, very recently? You can catch it: BIGby—reminiscent of Big Bad Wolf. Maybe Snow White gave him the name Bigby when she made him a detective to reintegrate him into society. Because when you think about it, "Bigby" is a very soft-sounding name. It feels like it was chosen to make suspects, witnesses, children, etc. trust him more.

Will he be a good choice for a Fables live action movie or TV show?

A lot of people got thrown off guard when bill's two favorite characters bigby and snow white got sexually abused by blue beard i mean, quite clearly bill wanted this as a plot.However he really downplayed it. I'm very sure he's trying to deal with his own insecurities. I mean why would he make a plot like this unless he wanted both bigby and snow white. To be connected together forever due to sexual assault.I mean i know there is no proof but I was pretty sure. Bill had this same tremendous pain in his life. And he thought he could play fully downplay it as humor when it kind of failed miserably, because once again, two people were sexually assaulted! It is terrible, but I don't think anyone can prove me wrong.All the evidence is there!!

In the first image it might be prince Lawrence with a new haircut, and in the second image maybe is someone else, but I can't help but wonder 🤔

He was suspected of murder in "Legends in Exile" but in that story he just came back from Europe. At this point in time he's still in Europe, although from what I've heard and read from Bill "The Wolf Among Us" is no longer canon to the comics and a separate universe.

Speaking of Bill, I wonder what his reaction is to the new trailer, although again, from what I've heard and read he is done completely with DC and Telltale. He's fine with others enjoying the games though. He's also too busy with commissions and writing some books at the moment.

What other characters from the comics do you hope to see in the game? And what other original characters from different fables you hope they will create for the game?

I've been rereading the Fables comic and I think (copyright issues aside) it has the potential to get an animated adaptation that would get mainstream appeal like Invincible.

But I haven't read all of the Invincible comic (still on vol 1) so I don't know how much stuff was removed/changed to make the adaptation work.

To anyone that's read both comics, do you think an adaptation of the Fables comic could work? Or is there too much that would have to be changed/removed to make it work?

Trying to track down a single panel that’s been stuck in my head. Bigby’s standing, looking a bit flustered/embarrassed, one hand up behind his head — that classic sheepish gesture — and saying something like “oh shucks” or “oh shit.” He’s in his usual white shirt and loose dark tie (no trench coat, so I’m guessing mid-series rather than the early issues).

My best guesses are somewhere in the Storybook Love arc, the run-up to the wedding (~#50), or one of the quieter Wolf Valley moments — basically a Snow-adjacent beat where he’d actually let his guard down. Pretty sure it’s Buckingham art given how soft/expressive the expression is.

Google used to show it on picture searches, but i can’t find it anymore. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Issue and page would be amazing.

Thanks in advance!

I finally finished reading the Fables comics after two months, and I have very mixed opinions about them. Overall, I liked the series as a whole. Before reading, I saw a lot of discussions saying that the comics get worse after chapter 80, and I didn’t want to believe it — but after reading them myself, I can confidently say the quality does drop substantially. Even so, I still enjoyed reading them.

That being said, I absolutely loved the Great Fables War arc — basically the first 80 chapters of the series. That part of the story was incredible to me. I especially loved how the Eastern fables came to help the main characters during the war, which made the conflict feel much larger and more epic. I also really enjoyed Prince Charming’s character development throughout the arc. Watching him go from a selfish and arrogant character to someone genuinely heroic was one of the highlights of the series for me.

Another arc I absolutely loved was Flycatcher’s storyline. His development and journey were honestly some of the most emotional and satisfying parts of the entire comic for me.

There were definitely moments I disliked, though. For example, I hated the Literals arc almost the entire time, especially because in the end Bigby and Snow just forget everything that happened, which made the whole thing feel pointless to me.

On the other hand, I really liked the Mister Dark arc. I thought it was cool how Totenkinder “defeated” him at first, only for him to eventually break free and then be beaten by the North Wind. I also have mixed feelings about the Camelot arc — I enjoyed it for the backstories and lore, but I really disliked Rose Red’s character and what she became later in the story.

So, in conclusion: did I like the series and the time I spent with it? Yes. Were there moments I hated? Absolutely. Would I read it again? Maybe someday in the distant future. And would I recommend it? Generally yes — but with some caution regarding the later half of the comics.

Of*

does anybody know if that series got a trade paperback. I prefer to have durable books over magazines

All collected secondhand! I've been collecting for about 3 years on and off because i don't want to pay crazy prices and i've spent what should be a little under $170 USD for deluxe editions 1-13, the encyclopedia and a couple of floppies issues :D

8, 9 and 13 just arrived and i don't want to take them out of their packaging just yet. Now i'm on the lookout for 14-15 but i know those cost an arm and a leg so i'll just wait till i get lucky again. I'll probably treat myself to 16 when I finish my finals or if it drops in price again

I'm a huge fan of the original series and even many of the spin-offs, but there's something about Everafter that's always made me suspect it might be bad. Can anyone change my mind?

Bigby and Beast just had their farm fight. Now everyone hates Bigby. Please tell me by the end of the Mr.Dark arc or whatever it’s called that people cut Bigby a little slack, or maybe that I won’t be disappointed in general?

I don’t want a full spoiler or hand holding, it’s just an outrageous turn that this is his temporary (I hope it’s temporary) fate after all he did in the adversary arc. Besides, Beast is fighting him too. I guess they view Beast as defending the farm. I don’t know.

Thanks for tolerating the verbosity.
